Chemistry (BA)

About this programme

The Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology offers a comprehensive range of courses in physical, organic, inorganic, analytical chemistry, and chemical biology, enabling students to explore the world of chemistry and its related fields, while preparing them for a wide range of careers and professions. Courses numbered below 5000 are primarily designated for undergraduates, while those above 5000 are mainly intended for graduate students. Advanced chemistry majors are encouraged to explore graduate courses in an area of interest. In addition to teaching, our faculty lead active research programs that include many undergraduate researchers. The link between teaching and research is a vital one in a continually evolving scientific subject; it ensures that students will be provided with the most advanced information and perspectives and affords opportunities for students to participate in research. There are several options for earning the Bachelor of Arts degree in Chemistry, with the two most popular pathways shown below. Students who earn a sufficiently high score on the AP ( Advanced Placement Advanced Standing) chemistry exam may take CHEM 2150 and begin on the accelerated honors track.
